Infrastructure, Backup & DR

Ransomware Resilience and DR Overhaul — Financial Services

Redesigned backup and DR environment using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. Recovery time objective reduced from 3-5 days to under 4 hours. Anti-ransomware protection deployed across all endpoints.

All workloads protected. Backups verified and replicated. DR runbook tested and signed off. Quarterly test schedule in place.

The Challenge

Silent backup failures, no tested DR capability, no endpoint protection, and a near-miss ransomware incident on aging infrastructure.

Our Approach

Full Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud deployment covering image backup, CDP, dual-destination replication, anti-ransomware, EDR, and a formal DR runbook.

A financial services organization was running business-critical systems on aging infrastructure with no tested disaster recovery capability. Backup jobs were failing silently, and there was no documented recovery procedure. A near-miss ransomware incident accelerated the decision to act.

InsightX conducted an infrastructure and security assessment, identifying the critical failure points. A full remediation was delivered using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud:

— Acronis image-based backup for all servers and VMs (VMware and physical)
— Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for SQL Server databases
— Backup replication to both on-premise NAS and Acronis Cloud
— Automated pre-patch image backups before every update
— Acronis anti-ransomware with real-time backup integrity monitoring
— Endpoint Protection with EDR deployed across all workstations
— Formal DR runbook with documented RTOs/RPOs
— Quarterly DR test schedule established

Recovery time objective was reduced from an estimated 3-5 days to under 4 hours.
